Alleged restriction of religious freedom and right to assemble, worship and practice of those
belonging to minority faiths. According to the information received, on 10 June 2011, four
Christian Democrat members of Parliament submitted a draft law concerning “The Right to
Freedom of Conscience and Religion and on the Status of Churches, Religions and Religious
Communities” to Parliament. On 14 June 2011, the draft legislation was reportedly approved by
the Committee on Human Rights, Minority, Civil and Religious Affairs, and was scheduled for a
vote before parliament on 11 July 2011. Reportedly, the draft bill introduces a re-registration
system, and all churches have to re-register, with three categories that identify what constitutes a
church. Religious communities that do not fall within these categories will reportedly be forced
to de-register, and then re-register as religious organisations.

Alleged excessive use of force by police officers. According to the information received, on 5
March 2011, police officers shot and killed Mr. Hortencio Nia Ossufo at his home in Mutatala,
Nampula City. Police officers allegedly went to the house of Mr. Ossufo with the intention of
arresting his brother, Frederico. The police officers apparently mistook Mr. Ossufo for his
brother and asked him if he was Frederico, which he denied. Nonetheless, the police demanded
that he accompany them to the police station, which he refused. An argument ensued and the
police shot him. An autopsy indicated that he was killed by a bullet which entered his rib cage
and struck his heart causing immediate death. Furthermore, on 29 April 2011, four asylum
seekers from Somalia were allegedly shot and killed by members of the Mozambique Republican
Police as they attempted to cross the Tanzania-Mozambique border. The Office of the United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees indicated that the killing reportedly occurred in the
Cabo Delgado province, in Namoto.
